Book through eternity junction "Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth." The Artfull Eye, or: Why Read James Joyce? James Joyce was not exactly what one would call a prolific writer, having produced only a handful of poems, two plays, a single book of short stories, and just three complete "novels." If you piled all these works on top of each other, it still wouldn't be the size of Dostoevsky's shopping list. And yet this small stack towers over our century, and its unforgettable shadow touches us even on our postmodern doorstep  and beyond. And yet, whenever people like me write florid, gushing paragraphs like the one above, the inevitable question always arises: if Joyce is indeed so wonderful, revolutionary, and influential, why haven't more people read him? Why is he considered so bloody difficult ? Indeed, even among people who count themselves as well-read, Ulysses is occasionally used as something of an acid test; and more than a few academics have dismissed Finnegans Wake as an "impossible" work. Many find the prospect of reading Joyce to be simply

the bog page What's in a bog? Bogs are primarily composed of water and peat (which is decaying plants). Bogs have different layers of peat. A cross section of a bog shows that the peat layers change color. The lighter peat ( weisstorf in German) is chunkier; the dead plants in it have decomposed less. This peat is called peat moss and is used primarily for gardening (though it has been used in animal pens since it's much more sanitary than straw). The darker peat ( schwarztorf in German) is much denser and used for heat and fuel. Peat is cut in chunks, called mumps. Mumps are stacked, sometimes in elaborate piles, to dry. When dry, the peat can be processed for industrial or medicinal purposes or burned. It is also used to produce charcoal. In the past, the people of northern Europe (where many bogs were once found) would go into the bogs to dig peat. First, they would drain the upper level of water to a lower area. Then they used shovels and special peat saws to cut the peat and dry it for use. After the industrial revolution, they might build a small rail track so that a larger number of mumps might be hauled at one time. Eventually, they began to use machines to help them cut. Early machines were smaller; these were followed by huge machines that could cut a great deal of peat. Of course the more peat that was cut, the more bogs were destroyed.

Dear Reader, Sometimes a story just takes you over. I'm James Patterson, and you probably know me for my thrillers. Detective Alex Cross. Fast-paced novels for readers who want a couple of great nights with their hearts racing. Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas is something different. It's a love story that's grown inside me for years. I'm not sure where it came fromsome combination of personal experiences and images that stayed with me. But once the story took shape in my imagination I knew I wouldn't be happy until I'd made it into a heart-touching, moving novel. Possibly it's a page-turner, too. (I hope!) But foremost it's a novel about what it feels like to be in love, and the pleasures and agonies that love opens you up to. I very much hope you'll read this novel. If it makes you cryand I'm staking my reputation that it willI hope you'll recommend Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas to your friends and relatives who love a great love story.

@import url(http://www.homestead.com/~media/elements/Text/font_styles.css); Interview with James Reidel Why I translate or why I think any poet should stems from my dated notion of apprenticeship that was already dated when I took it up and there are now Germanists who make entire careers out of what I call an act of apprenticeship but who fail to appreciate what the ape says at the end of Ingeborg Bachmann 's libretto for Der junge Lord "Im Deutschen waltet ein bedeutend ernst Geschick ." But once upon a time it seemed to me that any good poet should translate, and the poets who I was reading during the late 70s all bore this out. The little collection of Georg Trakl translated by James Wright and Robert Bly comes to mind. And what my contemporaries were doing supported my notion, too, including the younger poets I befriended who were all a little farther along in their development than I was. Several were already doing translations. I am thinking of the people I met on visits to Oberlin College, namely Wright's son Franz , who was translating Rilke and S. Daniel Simko
